That's really weird. From fetchmail man page (this section worth reading
in entirety):
RETRIEVAL FAILURE MODES
The protocols fetchmail uses to talk to mailservers are next to bullet-
proof. In normal operation forwarding to port 25, no message is ever
deleted (or even marked for deletion) on the host until the SMTP lis-
tener on the client side has acknowledged to fetchmail that the message
has been either accepted for delivery or rejected due to a spam block.
...
This is a bug worth investigating (on some dummy mails... don't loose more)
BTW: you may want to check the 'keep' option. I used it a long time ago.
